Choose the Design

The real fun starts when you pick out the design for your new website.

Fundamentally, the WordPress Theme system is a way to “skin” your weblog. Yet, it is more than just a “skin.” Skinning your site implies that only the design is changed. WordPress Themes can provide much more control over the look and presentation of the material on your website.

A WordPress Theme is a collection of files that work together to produce a graphical interface with an underlying unifying design for a weblog. These files are called template files. A theme modifies the way the site is displayed, without modifying the underlying software. Themes may include customized template files, image files (*.jpg, *.gif), style sheets (*.css), custom Pages, as well as any necessary code files (*.php).

Here’s where you can go to browse and download themes:

Find the themes you like and download them to your desktop, unzip them and use Filezilla to upload them to your webserver. (Place the theme in the “yourwebsite”/wp-content/themes/ directory

Login to the admin section of your website (the “dashboard”) and go to “Presentation” to view and install new themes.
